one object of NJ. de Lessep's visit is to
try to induce Prince Bismarck to assent

the Redistribution in 1899. If SO, his
efforts have small prospects.

circulated in official quarters that Russia
would for the present let events take their
own course in Bulgari&.

NEW BRUNSWICK, n. j., March IL
All the Brundage family, the only rela-
tlves Of the Denmeads, drove in from
PisCatOway this morning on learning OF
the horrible discovery yesterday. Mrs
Brundage persisted in seeing the body of
her sister although the remains have not
been prepared for inspection. The de-
tectives Of the city are inclined to believe
ia the foul play theory. Il is certain that
Samuel Denmead has tried underhand
means to obtain possession of the
woman's property. No marriage cert; IL
cate was found among the papers of the
brothers, and Mrs. Brundage believes the
woman was nothing but the mistress OF
the three men.
The result of the post norton eXsmina-
ton en- the bodies of Robert and Cornelia
Denme al showed that the Woman's lungs
were in a normal COnd ton. Her stom-
aCh and intestines were absolutely empty
Of solid matter, showing that the woman
was starved to death. The body was hor-
ribly deCOmposed. Mrs. Denmead had
been dead for st least two months. Rob-
ert Denme6d's body was gaunt and shriv-
eled. The lungs and heart were decom-
posed. The stomach and intestines were
empty. His death was also caused by
starvation. The stOmachs Of both will be
snalVzed for trace of poison.
Howard MCCherry, counsel for Samuel
Denmesd, is authority for the statement

GENERAL REGRET AT GALVESTON.
Special to the Gazette.
GALVESTON, Ten, March 1.-THE pub
LEGATION this morning Of serious charges
against SergGant-at-ArmS 2. 81. He1neSSy
caused great surprise and r greet in this
city. Mr.. HenneSsy has hosts of warm
personal friends here, many OF whom
could not conceal their Indignation against
Senator Knitlle for what they regarded as
his hasty and radical action in the prem
ises. The Evening Tribune is strong in
its defense Of Mr., H6nnessy, nOtwith
standing the fact Of his eXpul-
sion from the office of Ser
geant-at-Arms. The TRIBUNE declares:
"Any man who could think for moment
that Colonel Pat Hennessy would barter
away a reputation built 0y a life time OF
integrity for pitiful $50 must be def
Cient in ordinary common sense. The
fact of the matter is that while he COM
mitted an indiScretiOn he simply did
what hundreds of honorable state, county
and city officials have made practice of
doing. After getting al order approved
he discovered that something was lacking,
and to facilitate business he took
the responsibility Of adding to il, feeling
satisfied that the chairman Of the com
mittee on contingent expenses would ap-
prove it, and knowing full well that the
state owed him balance more than sui
t;ient to cover it. If ne did that he com
mttted no forgery, for forgery consists OF
an act committed with Intention to de-
fraud"
A number Uf Hennessy'S friends tele
graphed their expressions of confidence
to-day. HIS downfall is matter OF gen
eral and sincere regret. Mr.. Hennessy is
chairman Of the Tenth Senatorial district
Democratic committee. 1t was through
his connection with this Office that SeGa-
tor Claiborne backed him for Sergeant
alarms.

Hear 'em laugh" said Fred Wilson, the
old minstrel man, as he stopped toweling
his face moment and turned his ear to-
ward the stage of the theatcr. There they
go again. That's Lew simmons He's
brought the house down. They're in good
humor tonight"
Then he resumed his rubbing and took a
yard section OF black of his cheek, and,
while the audience the other side of the
footlghts kept up its incessant hum,
broken every now and then by furious eX-
ploson OF laughter, nc went on with his
yarn.
Reminds me of the night Sargent shot
h!mself--Jack' Sargent, they called him
as smart niger minstrel man as ever
trod the boards. IL occurred IN the year
1855, In u theater hall in the city of Chi
cage. Jack was one Of those good fell
lows that every body liked, and gettin'
asked out TO drink was the ruinatIon OF
him. But he'd signed the pledge and for
three months hadn't drank "a drop, till that
night he got suit OF clothes he had won on
his swearln'' OFT, and some Of his chums got
him full again. lie remcmb red "a threat
he'd made, that If he ever drank again he'd
shoot himself, and, SO, coming up into the
theater, he took IA pistol and put hole in
his breast They carried him down the
back stairs, and the doctors brought him
through after few months, but he's dead
now-Oecn dead several years
O"Well, that's just the way the audience
was laughing that night twcntysx years
ago Queerest things in the worli, these
audiences. Sometimes they'll laugh like
they was possessed, and then again the
funniest niger in the world couldn't get a
